Connor Chapman admits handling stolen Mercedes 'used in murder of Elle Edwards'

Connor Chapman has pleaded guilty to handling a stolen Mercedes which was allegedly used during the murder of Elle Edwards.

He will go on trial this week at Liverpool Crown Court accused of murdering the 26-year-old, who was shot dead outside the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey, Wirral, on Christmas Eve. Merseyside Police previously stated the beautician was not the intended target of the shooting, which occurred shortly before midnight on December 24 2022 and also saw four men injured.

Chapman, of Houghton Road in Woodchurch, has been charged with Ms Edwards' murder. The 23-year-old appeared in court today, Monday, as a jury of eight women and four men were selected from an initial panel of 40 and sworn in to serve on the trial.
